father in attending those afflicted with that terrible disease. He also
figured extensively in the late civil war, first as a lieutenant, and
afterwards as lieutenant-colonel of his regiment. He also served, for a time,
as surgeon. he returned to Kentucky, in 1868, and resumed the medical practice
at Louisville, where he has established a successful business, and taken an
active and honorable position in the profession. Religiously, he was
originally an Episcopalian, but, since the war, has connected himself with the
Catholic Church. He is a member of the Kentucky State Medical Society; belongs
to several social organizations; is a man of unexceptional personal
professional habits, and an enterprising and valuable citizen.
